If you’ve got a basement, you also have a sewage pump. Its job is to pull the sewage from your home and pump it out to the main sewer line. In most cases, the sewage pump will be installed in an open pit towards the center of your basement. When it’s working properly, it will remove all the waste so that your sewer lines remain open.
However, when it’s not working properly, you could end up with raw sewage overflowing into your basement.

If you get water from the well, you enjoy the freedom of not having to worry about city water costs, but you do have to make sure that the water quality remains safe to drink, as changes to the water table and contaminants aren’t treated or monitored for private wells. If you water tastes or smells bad, it could be harmless, but it also could indicate the need for further water treatment.
